Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo previously reported Pogba wouldn't be joining the Blaugrana because of his salary demands (h/t Sport Witness'NaveenUllal), but the outlet has now stated the deal can't go through because of the Glazers' stance.

Per the report, the Glazers believe Pogba to be an "integral part" of the Red Devils, similar to how the Catalans won't entertain the idea of Messi's exit.

The previous reports mostly centered around the 25-year-old's reported salary demands of €12 million per year (£10.5 million). Added to his transfer fee, bringing in the midfielder wouldn't fit into Barcelona's budget:

Barcelona have reportedly projected a wage bill of £563m for this season, which - along with profits of just £10m - leaves no room in the budget for an outlay on Paul Pogba, given the likely £133m transfer fee and major salary contract.

Pogba was linked with a move to the La Liga giants throughout summer, and the speculation hasn't died down.

The former Juventus man hasn't done himself any favours with some of his public comments. He recently told AFP it's "hard to concentrate" following France's FIFA World Cup win (h/tTonyMoganof the Evening Standard). He also appeared to criticise manager Jose Mourinho and his defensive playing style in September, per Richard Jolly of the Guardian.

An exit from Old Trafford seems increasingly likely. TheMirror's Andy Dunn is among those who have called on the club to "call his bluff" and present him with a new contract:

High time Man United called Paul Pogba's bluff, so we can find out how badly he wants to be as great as he truly could be #MUFC | @andydunnmirror https://t.co/Ohw5xi9dbj https://t.co/L1kGamHo3l

Pogba is the face of the club, however, and the financial aspect of a transfer would complicate matters.

Even if the Red Devils wanted to part with the France international, there would only be a handful of clubs that could come up with the transfer fee it would take to land him. Add to that his hefty wage demands, and you end up with a difficult deal.

Things get nearly impossible if the Glazers decide they don't want to play ball. United have enormous financial reserves and no need to cash in on a player they want to keep around.
